KDE 4 Marches on….
KDE.news has reported on part of the progress of KDE 4 specific to SVG graphcs. (I know that’s redundant) It’s redundant because SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics. Ever since about 2 years ago, Gnome and other projects began to move to SVG rather than PNG, JPG or other types of graphics. “What’s the advantage?”…

Star Tech
Ever though celebrities were a bunch of know-nothing morons? Well, Ironic Sans has used Google’s new patent search feature to discover that many patents have actually been filed by celebrities. The smartest was Hedy Lamar who was actually a brilliant mind in the world of Cryptography. However, her equally good skills at acting caused most…

Almost ready to perch
My budgie is almost ready to perch. I finally finished getting all the bones in the right front toes. This is the annoying part of computer animation. I need to make bones for each part of the body I wish to move and then tell the bones what parts of the flesh they move. So…

Budgie Camera Timing & Lighting Test 1 Render
Bet you’ve wanted to see the budgie all the way around, eh? Well, here it is! I was doing a test on timing and light. Naturally, the timing is wrong! That’s why I’m doing a test! The camera is moving too fast, I’m going to try and work on that as I continue working on…

We’re Back!
So lycos died today and they provide the name servers for my blog. So my server, all tripod, and all angelfire pages were inaccessible today. Didn’t see anything about it off their home page, but the roughly 6 hour outage was annoying as heck! Glad to be back!

The Greatest Praise
For any creator of content, be it music, photos, or music, the greatest praise is to have people experience your content. This is why I care about how many views I have on my photos on flickr. It’s not that I want to compare myself to others – there are many who gets thousands of…

Budgies
My wife gave me the idea to have some budgies star in my next short, my first true short after understanding everything I learned from “Penguin Flight” and “Hello World“. So I started work on modeling them last night around 2200. At first I figured it would be very hard and was getting quite discouraged.…

Fur
I wanted to play a little with particle systems in Blender and see if I could get some realistic fur. I came to the conclusion that I need a lot more practice before I try to implement it. Sure, making a furry sphere went very well. I even got a little bold and added some…
